Lean out of the window
Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair,
I heard you singing
A merry air.
My book is closed,
I read no more,
Watching the fire dance
On the floor.
I have left my book:
I have left my room:
For I heard you singing
Through the gloom,
Singing and singing
A merry air.
Lean out of the window,
Goldenhair.
-from Chamber Music, James Joyce
